Why stop bit in UART?



UART frame has 1 start bit, 8 bit payload data, 1 or 2 stop bits. Frame structure and baud rate is agreed by both transmitter and receiver for successful data transmission. Start bit is used to synchronize and tell receiver that frame is started. Why there is a need of stop bit per frame, since all data frame to be transmitted will always be 8 bits (frame will always end with 8 bits)?
